Texas-Tennessee WCWS Opener Set as Longhorns Defend Title

No. 2 Texas will open the 2026 Women’s College World Series against No. 7 Tennessee in Oklahoma City after defeating Arizona State in the Austin Super Regional; first pitch times and TV designations are still to be announced. Texas is the defending champion and ended last season by beating Tennessee in OKC. Tennessee, making its 10th WCWS appearance, is chasing its first title. The WCWS uses a two-loss elimination bracket, with two teams eventually playing a best-of-three final; if Tennessee beats Texas, UT will move on to face the winner of Texas Tech vs. Mississippi State.
